Minoring in French or Italian is a great way to supplement your major(s) with additional skills. A minor in French and Italian will not only enable you to speak, read, write, and listen in a second language, it will also equip you with insight into another culture and that culture's rich history, literature, and arts, and teach you to think critically. The French minor is 12 credit hours, while the Italian minor is 15 credit hours. Most students are able to complete the minor in just a few semesters, and up to 6 credits of the minor may overlap with GE requirements.
